Online sexual exploitation and abuse in Kenya

As one of Africa’s leaders on internet uptake, recording the highest internet penetration rate in Africa in 2020, Kenya’s laws are particularly important in protecting users against online sexual exploitation and abuse (OSEA). Among a population of 47.6 million, there are approximately 41.5 million internet subscribers, and those numbers continue to increase.
